He originally bought them on Ebay. If you search the serial #'s he has listed, they show up in a completed auction. Kind of fishy, or the wife said..."ohhh, hellll noooo!!"
He probably realized they have a de-lam issue, or a shredded mylar tweeter, or one of the myriad issues that these old Maggies have. I got caught and bought some on that auction site as well, and they have issues, and I hope to get $75 for them.
